Random reboots- Bad memory? Device Driver error everytime

[Michael Solomon \(MS-MVP Windows Shell/User\)]

I can only repeat the things to check as I outlined above with one
additional possibility, You may have a bad memory stick. If you have more
than one, you might try pulling one out and running the system to see if the
problem reappears and the same with any others. Aside from that:
First, be sure your antivirus software has the latest definitions and run a
virus scan.

Second, download, install and run Ad Aware:
www.lavasoftusa.com

Open Control Panel, open Administrative Tools, open Event Viewer, look for
errors corresponding to the crash, double click the error, the information
contained within may give a clue as to the
source of the problem.

Assuming you have an XP CD and not a recovery CD, place the XP CD in the
drive, when the setup screen appears, select "Check System Compatibility,"
the report it generates may point to problem hardware or software on your
system. If you do not have an XP CD, you can download this application
known as the Upgrade Advisor from the following site:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/howtobuy/upgrading/advisor.asp
Note: If you have access to a broadband connection it might be best to
download using that as this is a rather large download.

Check for the latest drivers for your hardware, especially your graphics
card and soundcard and all peripherals connected to your system. No not use
Windows Update for this, go to the device manufacturer's web sites and if
you install updated drivers, ignore the message about drivers being unsigned
by Microsoft.

You're welcome, good luck, Erich.

 

[hmm]

By chance are you using a USB 4 Port Hub on your system?

 

[erich]

yes....why?
It is of the Trust.

Sorry for have write so later.

 

[hmm]

I had a random reboot problem that was fixed after I removed my 4 port USB
Hub. Give that a try. Also uninstall some of your digital camera/camcorder
USB drivers.
